UFC President, Dana White, has made it clear that he wants to see knockout artist Vitor Belfort take on Lyoto Machida after Machida knocked out Mark Munoz with a head kick this past Saturday at UFC Fight Night 30. Dana White will probably be able to make this fight happen, but Gegard Mousasui has followed the recent trend of calling out fighters via Twitter and called out Machida.
Both matches would be awesome to watch, but there is something about the idea of Machida-Belfort that brings excitement to me. Both men are dangerous strikers with knockout power. I would naturally say that Machida's flawless technique would give him the edge, but Belfort has RIDICULOUS POWER that poses a problem to anyone. It is a fight that has to happen. I feel that Mousasi ahould face someone else in the UFC Middleweight division before calling out the likes of Machida or Belfort (who he wanted earlier this year.)
I believe that there are plenty of other good matches that the UFC could make for Mousasi such as bouts with Francis Carmont, Luke Rockhold (when he comes back from injury), Mark Munoz or even Cousta Philippou. Also Rich Franklin has stated that he believes that he wants one more fight before retiring; why not put Franklin in the cage with Mousasi?
All I know is that Belfort vs. Machida makes since from a ranking stand point as well as an entertainment stand point, no matter the outcome od Belfort vs. Henderson in November. UFC, make this happen!
